All Hail The Invisible Frog!

Very cool. Japanese scientists have created an invisible, or at least transparent, frog for medical research so that they may observe its internal organs without dissecting the frog. Much less messy that way.

I wonder if you could train one of these things to attack on command. "Kill! Invisible Frog! Kill!" That would be even cooler.

In any case, Japanese scientists have achieved several notable advances in recent years. For example, a square watermelon designed to fit more easily into compact Japanese refrigerators.
